• New way of working are appearing and imposing requirements on operational and technological side for all organizations cooperating for Homeland Security
• Consolidation of existing technologies and entrance of newer solutions can support the evolution of operations scenariothe evolution of operations scenario

Communications requirements
Bandwidth , to support new and future requirements Coverage . Uniform coverage versus spotted; Urban, suburban, rural areas… are underserved zones acceptable? Security . Reservation and confidentiality requirement even enforced by the increase of information exchanged but threats increase with the level of connectivity but threats increase with the level of connectivity Functionality . Guarantee the same services as current PMR networks…in a multi-media contextReliability . Guarantee the same level as current PMR networks…Services has to be assured even in critical conditionsSustainability . Many PMR networks still in deployment phases…Economic situation is cutting expense budgets

AL6 Restrictions are required due to the sensitivity of information exchanged and the potential threats posed to exposed informationAmanda Lachlan; 14/10/2013
Public networks and critical conditions
Saturation• Exponential growth of phone calls make the network unusable
Absence of priority mechanism• Preemption and priority for emergency calls are not supported
Unreliability• Network is not resilient to pervasive and multiple points of failure
Absence of extended and easy to use encryption
ARE PUBLIC NETWORKS ABLE TO PROVIDE SECURE AND RELIABLE SERVICE DURING CRITICAL CONDITIONS?
100% Public Safety organisations rely on private mobile radio for critical voice communications
89% Public Safety decision makers believe data is also mission critical
100% Public Safety organisations rely on private mobile radio for critical voice communications
89% Public Safety decision makers believe data is also mission critical
Absence of extended and easy to use encryption• Network is not able to secure data transmission in a simple and native
way
Different business model• Profit vs service• Different size/numbers involved

4G technologies
State of the art terrestrial cellular broadband standardDeveloped by 3GPPMobile technology with fastest developmentMore than 130 live networksTrue broadband servicesData only Full IP
LTE and Public Safety CommunityLTE is the first 3GPP technology which has the technical requirements to implement PPDR servicesLTE network model is simple and it can be scaled down for small/medium deploymentsLTE has mechanisms to enforce QoSIt is generally accepted that LTE will have a role in future PMR network as a possible reference technologyTCCA and 3GPP are working for including PMR needed features into the standard

Timings
Different scenarios may be proposed by other organisationsLTE will surely have a roleConsolidation of a standardised/widely accepted solution will take time
…First responders have the need TODAY
Our vision... Evolution not Revolution
Whichever the future…it will be heterogeneous
Capability to provide a smooth evolution of PMR to a full BB environment is a must
Technology integration is THE SOLUTION
Future
scenarios
Technology integration is THE SOLUTION
Whichever the technology mix, the network needs to be perceived as a single entity by users and apps
Selex ES CSP
PERSEUS/CSP is the Selex ES framework that allows interoperability with existing equipment, applications and services.
Following Next Generation Networks paradigm CSP can provide:
• Communications integration
